Price is too expensive The, there is no special place
Agreed.
I'm honestly quite surprised you all think $3.50 is quite expensive for 125GB (which is a package size most places do not offer) and considering also considering a main competitor, Backupsy, is $10 per Month for 250GB of storage. At our pricing, 250GB is $7.
However, constructive criticism is always a great thing and I will take your opinions into matter.
Thanks!
Your question is
Memory 512MB
Bandwidth 1TB
They are too small
According to the current market situation, you need to provide at least Memory 2GB and Bandwidth 3TB
What storage or backup application requires more than 512MB of memory for backing up or storing data? I do not see other backup VPS providers offering anything more than 1GB at the most.
Could you present to me a provider that has those capabilities for less than $10 per month?

I think you're pricing isn't over the top/ expensive for what you're getting but unfortunately you are being compared with the likes of Time4VPS.eu who are offering 1TB for 3.99/euro a month.
Perhaps you could consider:
--> Offering OpenVZ and having a small oversell of diskspace. Do the majority of people use 100% of their server?
--> Deduplication.
I suppose price speaks the most here rather than quality. I prefer not to oversell and I've always tried to stick to some standards such as providing the best service I can and never oversell. Perhaps I could offer OpenVZ but the quality of service would go down.
In my opinion, OpenVZ is not up to par with KVM and is definitely not as secure for storing data.
And why is that? Because of virtualization technology itself or because of not so good node resource monitoring and management?
Also, could you please point where is real world example where web hosting provider with OpenVZ on board was compromised due to virtualization fault. Thank you.
Not all of us, just some guys.
Уou are not a competitor of Backupsy, and their 250GB storage is $6/m.
Here are just some examples. ZXHost - 3GB/200GB KVM for $8/month or $80/year. Prometeus - XenPower 2GB/400GB XenPV €8.8/m or €69/y, they also have flexible KVM storage resource pool. DrServer - 2GB/200GB XenHVM $7/m.
If you're looking for a comparison on this low-end market, you're offer is quite interesting but not that great. Unless you're a well established provider it's very hard to provide and sustain the needed infrastructure on your price range. Believe me, you don't need to join the price war, just offer your niche with your own great quality and personal services. It would help you in the long run, (unless you're planning closing your shop in the end of year, or summer).
It has been possible in the past, what's to say it couldn't happen again in a future update?

I wouldn't ever advise OpenVZ for tasks like storing or backing up data. Your files are in directories within the main server, not an image.
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
Just because you think thay openvz is not secure/good for hosting backups then its your opinion...but i dont think many people think that way....
If they would have... time4vps wouldn't be so successful with their openvz sotrage plans...
And as for openvz vs kvm i am not a linux freak...but openvz is stil is going strong :-)
I wish like WHT, it was better for providers not to comment in offers section ( of other providers ) , unless there are complains / feedback requests.
@jarland
One or the worst parts about WHT in my opinion.
Actually of all the things that make this an unattractive offer to me, it isn't the cost. It is more so the fact that the location isn't given openly in the advertisement and the fact your using OVH. If it was a different/better quality network, I would have no issue paying $3.50 for 125GB, but seeing as you can get a dedicated server there for cheaper than peanuts, I would likely just order a server before debating to spend money on a 'storage vps' in OVH.
Also, for hosting in OVH the amount of bandwidth is quite low.
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
I gave the location, first bullet point under the logo. OVH dedicated servers start at $69 and this offer is $3.50 per month, which isn't going to break the bank if you only need around 100GB of storage.
I honestly have not had an issue with the OVH network at all; I've run numerous tests and benchmarks on all of my services from them and have found them to be better in the network side of things (such as DDoS mitigation) than other providers like Limestone Networks and Singlehop. (Which I have not used either in years so the comparison may not be fair)
I just want people to know I'm trying to create KVM backup servers that are reliable and not oversold. That is essentially my main goal.
